MATTER OF: Richard E. Kierstead - Backpay - Detail
              from Developmental to Full Performance
              Position
DIGEST:
         NOAA employee assigned to develop-
         mental Administrative Officer, GS-I1,
         claims backpay under Turner-Caldwell
         for detail to full performance
         Administrative Officer, GS-12, from
         October 31, 1971, to February 3, 1974.
         Classification Specialist evaluated
         employee's duties and responsibilities
         at GS-12 on December 27, 1972, and
         these were basically the same as those
         of the classified GS-12 position.
         Claim is denied from October 31, 1971,

 days without Civil Service Commission (CSC) approval,
 he or she is entitled to a retroactive temporary
 promotion and backpay for such period provided the
 employee would have met all qualifications and other
 requirements for such a promotion.

     Mr. Kierstead was employed as an Administrative
